Archaeological adventurers
by Mighty_Emperor | created - 10 Nov 2012 | updated - 5 months ago | PublicSeekers of ancient truths or obtainers of rare antiquities. A list of films and TV shows featuring treasure hunters, adventurers and scholars.
See also: Mummy movies, which often feature archaeologists, although they are often unfortunate victims. I also have an occult detective list, which has some crossover with this list, as well as being another well-known archetype.
